Endat 2.2: Inter-compatibility with various encoder types >

In October 2016, an inter-compatibility test was performed together with the company Heidenhain. In this event, the AKD was tested successfully with various types of Heidenhain Endat 2.2 encoders. The devices tested can be found in this…

Characteristic Data Safe Feedback >

Device Safe Hiperface Encoder EN 13849-1 EN 62061 PFHD (1/h) TM (years) MTTFD (years) Safe HIPERFACE Encoder SKS36S/SKM36S PLd, Kat.3 SIL CL2 1.3E-08 20 847

Scoping the Resolver or Sine Encoder Signal Amplitude in AKD >

First to review what F402 means: Analog signal amplitude for resolver or sine encoder feedback is out of range, either too low or too high. To troubleshoot: Check primary feedback (X10 connection), for resolver and sine/cos encoder only.

Integrating external encoder feedback in a PxMM application  >

This article outlines setting up a digitizing axis (secondary external encoder) or encoder master in a PxMM controller application that is using the PLCopen motion engine. The encoder input port is: AKD connector X9. Acceptable formats for the…

How to check proper counting of a master encoder on a follower AKD drive >

Procedure for checking your master encoder counts in the AKD.

How to Read the Raw Data of a Multi-turn Encoder when using the AKD Drive’s Primary Feedback X10 >

How to Read the Raw Data of a Multi-turn Encoder when using the AKD Drive’s Primary Feedback X10 Parameter FB1.P allows the user to read the position of the primary feedback device connected to X10. The position can be read as counts or in custom…

AKD Parameter FB1.ENCRES Setting for Linear EnDat 2.2 >

When using a linear EnDat 2.2 encoder as primary feedback in general the resolution will be always automatically taken from the encoder and calculated based on the pole pitch of the linear motor. The internal calculation for this setting is stored in…
